Utilitarian Computer Cases?

Hi everyone,

Recently I've been thinking of upgrading my desktops case. The issue is I can't really find what I'm looking for in my price range (classic dilemma). Currently I'm using an old IBM Intellistation case. It's great, but rather ancient and just getting too outdated.

I'm after something that is of decent quality and practical design. The more IBMesk the better really. Also low noise levels and cable management are a plus. I've seen the Intel server cases, these look really good but are just way to expensive (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/server-chassis/s...).

The system is used mostly as a small render farm and will be on for long periods of time. The issue is I have no money, it would have to be (preferably) under £100 but I don't mind used equipment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I did like the look of the Corsair 500R but then found the 200R. This should suit me just fine and also leaves a little more cash in pocket.
